Indonesian Collection

Hi bloggers! The final post for the Indonesian Collection is showcasing .the Borders and Corners die set. I love how beautifully the entire collection works together. Add a Stamp To Die For into the mix and this is what you can so easily achieve! This set features two types of corners, one that can be used on the inside and one for an outside corner so there is so much versatility to this set. Each die has a separate cutting edge as well. Let me know what you think of this set in your comment. Any favourites yet? That's it for day three, but still more starting bright and early in the morning. All for now, Sue x

Yeah, good ol brain ☺ this collection is gorgeous and I know at least 3 people that will make the most stunning cards with this (just like they have with the background die your showed us at 6am) thanks for a wonderful day. Looking forward to tomorrow xx

I love your border and corner dies and this one is so beautiful, makes a stunning card.Myra, happy birthday to your granddaughter, thank you for the update on Maureen, is that why she is missing from us all. I hope she is well enough to be released soon, hope she doesn't miss the big meet up. Please pass on my best wishes and hugs to her.Elaine, keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers , did you see my message this morning.Hugs to all blog buddies, especially our poorly and missing friends.

Hi Sue. I never really used to pay much attention to the border and corner dies, but since both you and John have demonstrated such beautiful cards using them in a different way I would have to say I await these dies in each new collection with eager anticipation. These have certainly not disappointed.

Wow Sue,The first and last cards on this blog today are my favourites, for today. Absolutely stunning, I also use borders more and more and corners. Because of your and John's examples I am getting more confident with mixing/matching/altering dies, there are definitely infinite possibilities.Hugs, Rose

Day three over with already! Doesn't time seem to fly past these days?I must be getting old! (LOL)Anyhoo, back to the launch, it's quite captivating how you manage to incorporate all the detailed fret work in these border and corner dies, they're outstanding and incredibly delicate. Hope you have a super weekend Sue, mines will be filled with croquet and chocolate, but not necessarily in that order.

I love this die set, it reminds me of something but I can't think what it is at the moment, I'll probably remember about 3 in the morning, lol. They look so useful and I particularly like the corners, both sets. Thanks for sharing.

Good evening Sue and all Wilsonetts Well you have done it again Another stunning sample using your new dies And another one to add to mt need list You should be very proud of your die creations Sue they are gorgeous I look forward to tomorrow's gems Take care everyone Theresa G xx

What a regal, rich, and opulent card. So wish I could find the right words to describe it.This die set is the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful collection. The wonderful things about collections is the versatility they provide to the crafter and the endless possibilities that await.

Looking forward to tomorrow but sad that we are over half way through the release. You have spoiled us Sue.

Aching for this border, Sue, have never yet achieved a whole 'Country' but would love Indonesia in total! Great colour choice for this card, love it all.Since you ask, faves so far..... Bonsai (on order) and today's background die.Thanks for another great day.

Hi SueGorgeous card and a wonderful end to another day of gorgeousness. My favourite favourite which I preordered is yet to come but my favourite so far is the Indonesian background. Looking forward to tomorrow

Yet another triumph in design Sue, such an elegant border and the corners are just so useful and totally versatile....i have largely been guilty of neglecting my border and corner dies, struggling to think of anything original to create with them, not anymore though, i have eagerly watched you and John demo fresh and interesting ways of utilising them over and above the ordinary so that I could now, with confidence, create something different of my own. A beautiful card by the way, loving the colour palette and composition.I have loved all of today's dies and therefore picking a favourite would be criminal:-), what I can say though, is that I really appreciate the inclusion of a square background.Ive had a fairly busy day entertaining visitors and taking my babies to the vets for their annual boosters and health check. We managed to negotiate both of them into their respective cat carriers with little commotion....Brodie went in and settled himself down voluntarily obviously forgetting that they are directly associated with a trip to the vet, whereas Darcey has a longer memory and more experience of said trips and therefore puts up a bit more of a struggle, it took three of us to secure her inside! I think that the car journey is somewhat stressful for them, Darcey sat on my lap and cried softly a little but Brodie could have shattered glass with his high pitched howls. Once at the vets they quietened down, Darcey was a pro, she let the vet check her over, weigh her and give her her jab and pill without so much as a murmur, then climbed back in her carrier secure in the knowledge that she was going home. Brodie had to be forcibly emptied out of his carrier and hissed quite a few times as he was being checked over, then to add insult to injury he spat out his wormer twice before the vet admitted defeat. On the plus side their "diet" has worked, Brodie has lost 0.5 kgs and so has Darcey so the vet was more than happy, me too:-)Elaine, i am so sorry to hear about the consultants assessment of Andrews progress, I was so hoping that you would get some good news. He is a fighter though, this disease doesn't stand a chance particularly when he has such a strong family unit behind him. This news has came at a bad time though for Helen in particular, i hope that she finds the strength to get through it and that you all find strength in each other, family is so precious. I wish that I could offer you some comfort, but what I can promise you is that you are in my daily prayers and thoughts, I hope that gives you a little comfortxxxMyra, Happy Birthday to your granddaughter, boy, they grow up so quickly...I have missed Maureen of late and I am saddened to hear that she is in hospital...all that gin on her cornflakes was sure to cause herself a mischief:-).....I hope that she will be released back into the community soon and in plenty of time to enjoy her get together with the Naughty Nine, keeping her in my prayers for a speedy recoveryxxxPam, hope your pneumonia is clearing, did you have some time off work to recuperate? Take CarexxxYvonne, no irritating texts today, what's up?:-) Has your hysteria dulled down to sectionable levels yet or are you still using triple strength Tena Lady and an inhaler after every post? Hope you enjoyed your day lounging in the sun whilst barking orders at your boys all afternoon, as much as I appreciate George topless, it doesn't quite live up to yesterdays little fantasy though:-( Nevermind, you're in no fit state to entertain a gentleman anyway, topless or otherwise!:-) Oh, and I knew you didn't have the staying power to cope with the early starts, its laughable that you assume you are no. 1 super fan because there is a distinct lack of commitment on your part my dear!:-)xxxHugs to Saba, P, Theresa,Maria, Frances, Carmen,Donita, Pat,June, Lynda,Wheely, the two Tina's , Deb C, Norah and many more lovely ladies regularly on the blogxxx

Hello Sue,I adore your border and corner dies, this one is just fabulous. Having an inner and an outer corner makes them so versatile. Thank you for another lovely day's samples.

Laine I don't blame Brodie one little bit, I'd have spit out a worm tablet too! And Maureen doesn't like cornflakes, she prefers her gin neat!She is hoping to be back home tomorrow. Special thoughts and prayers for Elaine, Andrew and Helen and of course our lovely Maureen.

Hi Sue, I'm sure someone stole all the 6's from my clocks because I certainly never saw 6pm so my apologies for being so late. The border and corner dies are brilliant and I love the way you have created the background of this card. As others have said, you and John have both shown us that a border or corner can be so much more than just that.

Laine - glad you returned from the vet's unscathed, I know how much you were looking forward to the visit :-)

Hello Sue, I'm rather late as bern at a party! Oh to be Eighteen again - actually - no , I'd pass on that! Thank you for another lovely day of beautiful cards, Dies and Inspiration! This card is gorgeous. I find the border , corner and tag Dies most useful. I will pass all your good wishes on to Maureen. I so wish I could do it in person but am thankful to be able to text! I hope she behaves - just kidding - she will bring a ray of Maureen sunshine into that ward! By what she has said it could be doing with it!! Lots of love to everyone who is going through times of trouble. Night Night, God Bless! Love Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx

This card is beautiful and maybe you might do a video showing the card assembly. I am adding this set to my favorites list along with the stained glass bonsai tree and the sea shore collection.Stephanie KSC/USA

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,This Card Is Truly Exceptional I Love The Cutting Dies Also The StampYou Have Used I Love The Colour Combination Just Exquisite Thank You For Sharing Sue.Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗 From Sam xxx

What a beautiful bold border this is and of course with all three having separate outline dies they can all be used just to cut pretty patterns into the card so much more useful than just corners and borders...

Hello SueI love all the Indonesian Collection but find it difficult to choose between the Square Background die and this Border and Corners dies as my favourite!Your last card of the day is gorgeous incorporating the border and the pretty stamp..Lesley S xWest Sussex

Wonderful Sue. You have a marvellous brain for craft. I have this die but haven't put it into practice as yet. I have just broken up for the holidays so here I go to my craft room Happy crafting everyone 😀

Hi Sue. Oh WOW !!! Yet another beautiful card, and your new border, and corner dies are Sooo beautiful to !!! I think they are really gorgeous. I could see me going to this set time and time again. The stamp you have used on this card is lovely. Thank you. Lots of love from Tres x x x
